Could the IAEA be anymore toothless?

[Proletariat]

If 9/11 proved anything, it proved that doing nothing isn't "the safe play"; very often "doing nothing" is what gets us killed.

If we do nothing, we don't just empower Iran, we empower every other tin horn dictatorship to spend every dime so they can get to the 'nuclear safe zone'. The belief will be that once you go nuclear the Americans must talk to you. If we allow this to be the standard we guarantee hundreds of other states with nuclear weapons. You might be prepared for a nuclear Iran, but are you prepared for a nuclear Venezuela, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Saudi Royal Family? I don't even want these guys in the Admirals Club at JFK much less sitting across the negotiating table saying "we got nukes - give us 5 billion dollars -or else".

We pushed Iran over once before with a little help from our friends in the CIA. I would think with the help of 70,000 Persian expats we could do a pretty good job of throwing them off balance. We must end this menace, quickly. For our sake and for the sake of the Iranian people who if we do nothing will be condemned for another generation to live under the rule of the mullahs. We cannot allow another generation to live in the taliban-lite nightmare that comes from Tehran, not just for their sake, but because by allowing it we condemn ourselves and their neighbors to eventual all out nuclear warfare.

I've said it before, our only choice here is fighting them when they have the bomb or fighting them before they have the bomb, you only have to decide which of those scenarios have odds that favor our success.

Iran has no moral order which will keep them from using the bomb. If we let them get the bomb, they will use the bomb. They will use it on us.

Unlike Pakistan which has the deterrent of Nuclear India, Iran has no opposing nuclear force on its border. As far as "Israel as an opposing force", Iran welcomes a war with Israel, they are not deterred by the idea of a war with Israel, it's their actual goal.

Action in Iran is going to happen, one way or the other.
